LIS (2002) recognized that the widely distributed Stephanitis pyri (Fabricius, 1775) consists of two species and described S. hoberlandti Lis, 2002 from Iraq (Shaklawa, Arbil Liwa) and ‘Jordan’ (Aroob near Hebron in Western Jordan, i.e. in the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel). Subsequently, GOLUB (2002) synonymized S. hoberlandti with S. oschanini, confirmed the validity of that species and recognized that former records of S. pyri from Transcaucasia and Middle Asia belong to S. oschanini. Revision of material housed in NMPC revealed that records of S. pyri from Iraq (HOBERLANDT 1953) and Turkey (HOBERLANDT 1956, ŠTUSÁK 1959), including the description of the 5 th instar larva by ŠTUSÁK (1959), also belong to S. oschanini. Stephanitis oschanini is currently known from Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Israel (Palestine), Kirgizia, Tadzhikistan, Turkey (Asian part), Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan (GOLUB 2002, LIS 2002, this paper; see Fig. 1). New species for Afghanistan and Turkey.
